If you have this older style where you need to hammer the joint out through these set screws I would chase the threads. I messed my threads up a little when I was hammering.

resurrecting this thread because both Dynatrac upper and lower are shot. I pressed them both out but then found the ball joints I got from O'Reilly had splines on them and were camber adjustable...piss off factor#1
Luckily the upper Dynatrac rebuild turned out to be fairly easy. So I took a shot at the lower, big mistake and waste of time.
The lower joint with the 2 set screws is a piece of shit with no instructions.
If I'm reading this correctly, removing the set screws does not actually release any cap but you use the set screw holes as access holes to insert a punch into and punch out the stud??
So you have to alternate side to side with a small punch until it's out? that's fucked.
I'm pissed for wasting an entire day dealing with this shit.
I finally found a lower joint with no splines at Autozone. But, because I only have the Jeep, I had to wait for a ride to chase down parts.
While the upper is actually easy to rebuild, the lowers make the overall choice of pressing them out and pressing new ones in the faster option.
I need to check the passenger side but will order ball joints before I tackle that shit show.
